Not sure if I want to sell it just yet, but that may depend on what I could get for it. I know it's a little older but it can still accomplish a lot.
This is the PowerBook G4 (DVI), codename "Ivory", bought brand new April 2002.

15" model, 800MHz. I have upgraded it to 1GB RAM from Crucial and replaced the stock hard drive with a 60GB IBM TravelStar 7200RPM, which makes a huge difference.
I have the original box but not the styrofoam packaging. Comes with original software CDs (and I might sell it with my retail copy of Tiger) and DVI/VGA adapter. Basically everything that came with it originally.
Here's what's wrong with it and will bring down the value :(:
- LCD backlight sometimes cuts out completely. Might be related to heat. Don't know how easy a fix might be. Doesn't affect external displays.
- Slot loading combo drive has problems reading some discs (might need cleaning).
- One of the fans makes a buzzing sound that it didn't used to.
Cosmetically, there's almost no paint chipping which these models where known for. Only a small spot on the front right corner that I see.
I used it mostly on AC power, so the battery hasn't been through too many charge cycles.
